FROM THE EAST.

THE American Board of Commissioners
for foreign missions, have rece we'd cable
gram from the treasurer of the famine re-
lief fund at Cons antinople, saying: Fifty
thousand people at Adena have nothing to
eat, aud the number is increasing. Other
towns ask help" Adena is the center
the Cll!cian plain, ordnari Y so rtilH, but
th year absolutely tarren on account o:
drouth. A little over $4,000 has ready
been contributed in this country for the
rel eft of Il . starving people. Further
cont lbutlons are greatly neede'.
TELEGRAM from Reading, Pa, says
that OWN, to the recent storms swelling
small streams, the Little Lehish river over
flowed its banks and the water dashed into
large numbrr of ron ore mines in Long
Swamp towns zip. Some of the shafts are
$50 feet deep. They are all filled up and
fifteen acres of ground covered with mines
Is under water, presen ing the appearance
OF a good-sized lake. All the machinery
and buildings are submerged and 200 men
are out of employment in consequence.
They cannot resume work for months.
Many Of them made narrow escapes, as
the water rushed into the mines very rap
Idly. The loss to owners is heavy.
The annual report of Maj. Mackenzie,
United States engineer, upon the i'm
provement of the Mississippi between St.
Paul and Des Moines Rapids, has been
received by the chief of engineers. In
his general remarks he says: Results al
ready accomplished show that the Missis-
sippi between st. Paul and Des Moines
Rapids can be put in such a condition as
10 make navigation sure and comparative
ly easy, but to accomplish this it requires
time and continued work under liberal ap-
propriations. As an amount that can be
expended during the fiscal year ended
June 30, 1889, submit an estimate of
$1,5o0,00o. Maj. Mackenzie recommends
the following specific appropriations: $780,
600 for snag boats and dredges, $50, O,495
for completing Improvements at Das
MONIES Rapids and $16,2 ,25O to complete
the dry dock at Des Moines canal.
YEAR or two ago, three tough citi-
zens of North Grove, Ind, station on the
PAN Handle road, were sent to the peni-
tentiary for cutting the brakes of train.
Their friends vowed vengeance, and since
then have almost daily thrown stones at
the trains. Recently a conductor named
James Felker, standing ON the caboose,
was knocked down bya large stone and
seriously injured.

The Chicago Times says that survey
of the political situation in Ohio leads to
the belief that the nomination of Powell
for governor by the Democrats is popular,
and his elect on is considered not improb-
able. The situation is complicated by the
prohibition and labor movements, the for
mer of which is supposed to draw more
largely from the Republicans. while the
Democrats are the principa. sufferers from
the latter. Altogether the Ohio campaign
promises to lie interesting and animated.

Sons of It. George.

A meeting of Englishmen was held last
night at Pioneer Hall, Seventh street, to
organize Lodge in this city of this pros
porous beneficial Order. 1t was well at
tended. This Order, for which English
men. their sons or grandsons only are
eligible, was organized in the State of
Pennsylvania in 1871, since which time it
has attained a membership of $4,000, and
there are over $50 subordinate Lodges in
the different States of the Union. 1t was
organized on this coast by Deputy Will
ans one year ago, and there are now two
Lodges in San Francisco, one in Oakland
and one in Los Angeles, with an aggregate
membership of $50, and increasing very
rapidly.
The Order does not concern itself with
religion or politics, nor is there in its ele-
ments anything antagonistic to the country
of its adoption, or likely to lead to ill-feel-
ing or jealousy. 1t seeks the unifcation of
Englishmen in this country for good and
wholesome purposes, conducive alike to
the benefit Of IFS members and the general
welfare of the State. After some prelim-
mary business was transacted it was re-
solved 70 meet again, in the same hall,

the Sacramento river, about s A. NJ. yester-
day, at Jacobs Landing, opposite the Twin
Houses, Is miles from this city, and was
drowned His body was recovered few
hours later, and an inquest held last even
ing. William Jacobs, in his testimony be-
fore the Coroners jury, said; Deceased
was working for me on the farm, and l was
present when the accident occurred. About
s o'clock this morning we started with
small ferryboat load of cattle from the east
bank to the west. When the accident oc
Cured we were opposite the landing, come
sixty OF eighty feet from shore. We had
on board sixteen head of cattle and four
men, viz: Ed Carberry, William Ander-
son, myself and the deceased. The cattle
were apparently all right, but the bar at
the bow end broke, and that appended the
boat When the bow broke my back was
to deceased and William Anderson. Ed.
Carberrv called out to deceased to catch
one of the animals by the horns and he
did so, and he had hold OF the cows horns
when | saw him last some fifteen feet
from the shore. l fell off and Ed. Carberry
helped me back in the boat. did not see
deceased when he was drowned, as /
thought he was all rlght, ana was watching
William Anderson. The boat is 10 feet
wide, from q to so feet in length, with a
high railing on the sides and bars on the
ends, and was built expressly for ferrying
purposes. After we got to the shore and
changed our clothing we returned and
found the remains after some two hours
search, about forty feet from shore. The
boat is worked with oars"
The jury rendered a verdict of accidental
drowning in accordance with the above
facts

Anron and Necktie Social.

The ladies of the Olive Branch Ladies'
Society gave an apron and necktie social at
Turner Hall last evening, which was largely
attended andvery enjoyable. In the grand
march each lady was presented with an
Fpron and each gentleman a necktie. At
the conclusion of the march the gentleman
had 10 hunt up the lady whose apron CORE
sponded with his necktie, and she was his
partner for the first dance. This produced
much merriment, and the fancy-colored
and fancifuIly-cut aprons worn by the ladies
gave the assemblage the appearance of a
milkmaids' soiree. The dresses were plain,
high-reGked. and long sleeves. There was
q total aps1nce of lowcut and armiess
dresses, and in this respect much more
sensible and more in keeping with hygienic
laws than the more aristocratic but absurd
and foolish costumes worn at the inaugural
ball this week. The young men were
neatly attired in business suits, steel-pen
coats were prohibited, the cutaway and
sack coat being the only ones admissible.
Good music, plain dances, and jolly good
time was the consequence. The floor
